Seeing that he couldn't comfort Mobius with words, Yaqing had no choice but to take her shopping, ostensibly to bring back souvenirs from Central Europe.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Once a woman gets caught up in the shopping frenzy, she'll forget all her worries. Yaqing now believes this, and even the Snakey can't escape this conclusion.

Yaqing was panting heavily.

He regretted it.

They carried shopping bags around their necks and in their hands, going wherever they could get around.

The next day.

Far East Airport.

Yaqing looked helplessly at Kiana was holding Mei's arm.

He felt truly helpless.

Ever since he told Kiana and Anna that they were given a break to go back to Central Europe together, both women tacitly agreed to bring their boyfriends/girlfriends along.

Kiana and Mei, Anna and Chen Tianwu, Yaqing and Mobius.

As if it were a pre-arranged agreement, they were preparing to bring their other half back home.

"Mei, Mei, when we get back to Klostoten Town, you'll see that the scene is almost exactly the same as in the anime!"

Kiana said exaggeratedly.

Mei was full of doting affection.

Anna and Chen Tianwu, this young couple, one is shy and the other is quiet.

Departing from the Far East Airport, bound for Vienna Airport.

Cecilia and Ziegfried had been waiting at the airport for a long time. As soon as Cecilia got off the plane and walked out of the airport, Kiana couldn't help but let go of Mei's arm and rush into Cecilia's arms, like a fledgling returning to its nest.

"Mother!"

Cecilia spun around in place with Kiana in her arms.

"Little Kiana ~"

Whether Kiana grows up or not, Cecilia will always see her as a child.

"Hey, hey, hey, Dad's here too, why are you only calling for Mom?"

Ziegfried was jealous.

There's a saying that daughters are closer to their fathers, so why are all his little darlings leaking air?

Kiana grabbed Cecilia's arm and pulled Mei over.

"Mom, this is Mei. You... you should already know, right?"

Even the usually carefree Kiana is feeling a bit uneasy.

Although many people online support her, she still has to endure strange looks in real life.

"Mei..."

Cecilia stared at Mei with a scrutinizing gaze, making Mei nervously clutch the hem of her clothes.

Cecilia smiled the next second.

"Just kidding, Mei. Of course I know her. She's Kiana's girlfriend."

Cecilia's teasing made Mei blush.

Upon seeing this, Mobius took a half step back, hiding behind Yaqing with only half of his body showing.

Yaqing was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Mobius, who always calls others his lab rats, was actually scared like this one day.

Anna and Chen Tianwu showed no unusual behavior.

"Sister, this is a snake... a gift from Mobius for you."

Yaqing handed the things in her hand to Ziegfried.

Cecilia's eyes lit up as she looked at Mobius.

She was very curious about what kind of extraordinary woman could win over her younger brother. After all, she had tried to matchmake Yaqing and Shigure Kira many times before, but Yaqing had never responded.

"Mobius, what a lovely name!"

"Thank you... sister."

Mobius was a little shy.

Yaqing even suspected that Mobius had been possessed today.

Kiana giggled and ran behind Mobius, nudging her shoulder.

"Hehe, Auntie, don't be so shy."

Yaqing watched as Cecilia and the others quickly got into a lively conversation, unable to get a word in edgewise. She could only exchange a glance with Ziegfried.

Both of them had a look of helplessness in their eyes.

"Froglay, you've come."

When Yaqing met Froglay, who had come to pick him up at the airport, it wasn't to see him, but rather...

"Hmm, Patriarch, Anna didn't cause you any trouble in the Far East, did she?"

While talking about Anna, Froglay's eyes were fixed on Chen Tianwu who had kidnapped her little darling.

Anna's body stiffened.

Chen Tianwu was already a man of few words, and now he speaks even less.

Upon hearing Froglay's words, Yaqing was stunned. He had always adopted a hands-off approach to Anna, and even after arriving in the Far East, he had only seen her a few times outside of the company.

The young couple is living a very happy life together.

He wouldn't join in the fun if he had nothing better to do.

"Of course not, Anna's work ability is recognized by every colleague."

Yaqing said with a smile.

Noticing that Froglay's mind was elsewhere, Yaqing offered a way out.

"Froglay, go ahead, I think you have a lot to say to your daughter."

Froglay nodded.

"Alright, sister, how much longer are we going to stay at the airport? President Otto has already booked a private room."

Yaqing spoke up to remind him.

"Oh, right, Otto even prepared a welcome dinner for you."

Cecilia then realized what was happening.

As the president of the Schicksal Zaibatsu, Otto wouldn't book a shabby place. Mei, on the other hand, was fine. After all, as the successor of Me Corp, even if she didn't frequent such places often, she was still worldly-wise.

Mobius goes without saying.

Chen Tianwu, on the other hand, had spent the previous 20 years as a poor student, so he was bound to feel uncomfortable suddenly entering such a high-class place.

Yaqing naturally noticed this scene, so she deliberately slowed her pace.

He and Chen Tianwu walked behind everyone else.

"What's wrong? Not used to it?"

"No."

Chen Tianwu knew that the man in front of him was Anna's elder.

Yaqing smiled.

"The expression on your face tells a different story. It's clearly filled with fear, nervousness, and inferiority. Do I need to tell you?"

"You've already said it."

"I'm so sorry."

Yaqing's apology lacked sincerity, and he was just like Otto.

"To be frank, I don't really understand how you feel, but I can roughly understand. I've known people like you before, who felt they weren't good enough for a girl, so they worked incredibly hard."

Yaqing directly pointed out Chen Tianwu's thoughts.

Chen Tianwu's eyes held a complex expression.

Antona suddenly turned her head, but was quickly pulled away by Froglay.

"And then, what happened to that man?"

Chen Tianwu spoke in a deep voice.

A smile appeared on Yaqing's lips.

"He held a very grand proposal ceremony. In front of thousands of people, he proposed to the girl he loved."

Chen Tianwu was taken aback.

Proposal?

It was witnessed by tens of thousands of people.

This was a scene he never dared to imagine.

"You're not talking about yourself, are you?"

Chen Tianwu had some doubts.

"Of course not. He is a child born into an ordinary family, just like you. Maybe his surname happens to be the same as that of a large family. Reality is not a novel, and there won't be any melodramatic stories about illegitimate children."

Suddenly, Yaqing mysteriously posed a question to Chen Tianwu.

"Guess who his fiancée is?"

Chen Tianwu frowned.

"A rich heiress? A cold and aloof CEO?"

"Haha, that's why I said you're a very funny person."

Yaqing smiled.

"However, you guessed pretty much right. The person he proposed to is a true genius, someone I can't even compare to."

Yaqing patted Chen Tianwu on the shoulder.

"Why do you feel inferior because he can succeed? Anna is not comparable to that person at all. Relax, real great families are not like those in novels."

"Thanks."

Chen Tianwu expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

After talking with Yaqing, most of his tension dissipated, and he understood Yaqing's purpose.

"I didn't say anything."

Yaqing waved her hand.

Walking a short distance ahead of them, Cecilia asked Kiana why Sirin hadn't come back with them.

"Mom, Sirin seems very busy. I haven't seen her log into the game these past few days. Uncle said he asked her, but her answer was just one word: busy."

"Being busy is good."

Cecilia sighed.

They quickly reached the outside of the private room, Ziegfried pushed open the door and went inside.

"Our little princess is finally back. After all this time, I think little Theresa must have taken good care of you."

Otto, who was sitting in the main seat, stood up.

Kiana's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Otto in the story is utterly wicked, and it can be said that most of the suffering she experiences in the story is inextricably linked to Otto.
